Issue Position: Protect the Second Amendment

Issue Position

The Second Amendment exists to ensure the rights guaranteed by all of the other amendments. If the Second Amendment were gone, in short order all of your other rights would be gone too. The right to bear arms is fundamental to liberty and to personal protection. "Gun control" amounts to, in effect, keeping guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens and allowing them to stay in the hands of criminals, who disregard the law. That regimen makes us less safe. Dr. John Lott wrote a book, "More Guns, Less Crime," which lays out the empirical proof that we are better off when the good guys have guns.
